Profile Information

About a year ago, I was organizing street evangelism groups for my Church and working on a Master’s Thesis on Old Testament at the Toronto School of Theology. It was in the midst of a life packed with service to the Lord that I became increasingly aware of my emotional and intellectual dissatisfaction with the faith that I professed.

My forthcoming book, Still Small Voices, is a mixture of personal testimony, analysis and arguments. I begin most chapters by telling stories of particular moments during my eight year experience as a Christian that I found myself hearing another “still small voice,” the voice of reason, which constantly whispered that something about my worldview did not add up. I record the difficult moments when I fruitlessly struggled to reconcile the violence and misogyny in the Bible with my own moral compass. Throughout the book, I record my efforts to ignore and suppress that voice and how ultimately, I had to relent.

In addition, in each chapter, I spend some time doing a bit of atheist apologia. For example, in my chapter, “the Cross of Christ,” I argue that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross—a minor inconvenience for an eternal being—is insufficient to compel humanity to sacrifice their very finite life on Earth in service to him; assuming the unlikely possibility Christ actually did die for our sins, it’s the least the creator of the universe can do.

I have come to recognize the harm that such false beliefs has brought in my life and continues to bring to the lives of believers, and I want to make a contribution to the growing atheist movement.

I have written this book because I have seen through my interaction with believers that all Christians hear the other still small voice and I want to encourage them to listen to it.
